A member asked:

What is trace right hip joint effusion i had a mri with metal subtraion and this is what the results are. i had an total hip replacement in january?

Fluid in your joint: This indicates that you have a small amount of fluid in your joint. It does not necessarily indicate a problem. However, since your surgeon ordered an MRI postoperatively, he is concerned about a complication, such as infection
